• Description:
  In the United States in 1976 there were about 6 million women 15-44 years of age whose first marriage had ended in divorce. About 21 per- cent of these women had entered a second marriage during the first year following divorce, and about 71 percent had remarried within 5 years after divorce. However, the likelihood of remar­ riage varied depending on the social and demographic characteristics of these women. The most important of these characteristics were race, age at divorce, and educational attainment. Data provide evidence that during the first 5 years after divorce the likelihood of remarriage was greater for white than for black women, greater for those who were divorced before age 25 than for those who were divorced later, and greater for those with less than a high school education than for those with one or more years of college.
